Our family is in decline

Tamara, holding two Roma sacred objects, the compass [Astrologist] and the crystal ball [Stargazer], did indeed crack the secret of the farm's starry sky as Amanda said.

The crowd finally entered the core of the farm and came to the deep pit smashed by the starry sky object under the mill, and found the comet sleeping there.

While everyone was amazed at the huge and thick crystals that spread wantonly here, Lance had already glimpsed the unknown objects vaguely visible inside the crystals.

Their entry caused a counterattack from something. Under the fierce flashing light, clusters of crystals grew out, and soon they were injected with strange power and bloomed with colorful fluorescence.

With Lance's order, the battle began. The guards came forward with iron pickaxes to knock open the crystals, and Lance followed the path opened up and raised his sword to cut down the largest crystal column.

As the blade approached, there was a familiar sense of obstruction. The defensive force field lingering on the crystal could weaken the attack, and the force was partially weakened, but Lance's power was too strong. Even so, when the blade collided with the crystal, the tip broke directly, and the crystal fragments flew.

But the monster would not wait to die, and the fluorescence on its body bloomed.

Humble gathering!

The broken tip was pulled by the force and reassembled, and the fluorescent fluid seeped out of the fracture to glue it together, and the small fragments fell to the ground and gave birth to the distorted crystal cluster again.

Others also began to prepare, and the guards cleared the distorted crystals, not giving them a chance to expand.

At the same time, Amanda threw a flying knife, and the ritual on it directly broke the defensive force field lingering on it.

Alhazred also held up the skull candlestick, and the weakness ritual further disintegrated the power of the crystal column.

Even Tamara took out the crystal ball, and could see that it seemed like stars were flowing in it, and it was floating in front of her without holding it. As she raised her hand, the power of the stars gathered in it, and then a condensed starlight shot out.

Almost in an instant, the crystal column was focused on, and various rituals, curses, and spells fell on it, and even the brilliance dimmed a little.

Lance was also not idle. He swung the sword in his hand and cut it off again and again. Even though the fluorescence kept gluing it back together, the whole column was visible to the naked eye. Fluorescent fluid dripped everywhere, as if it was covered with scars.

Completely suppressed, the resistance of the crystal column even looked funny under the siege. Although it still maintained that form, its aura gave people a feeling of depression.

At this time, the crystal clusters that had just been scattered around the field disappeared, and then there was a violent vibration.

And everyone saw the ground where the huge crystal pillar was rooted cracked. It was unknown whether the huge comet that had been used as a background board was awakened by the vibration, or whether the vibration was a precursor to its awakening.

Anyway, the blazing fluorescence was emitted, and countless pieces of gravel were suspended together. The comet that had sunk into the ground was also suspended under the push of the inexplicable force and showed its true appearance to the world.

Maybe because of its large size, it did not completely resist gravity, and it was only suspended one or two meters above the ground.

But after it completely left the ground, it was an exaggerated body as big as a room. Most of the irregular shell was a thick stone shell that wrapped its oval body. There were crystal pillars extending out like spikes on it, and the crystals on its back were like the tail flame of a comet sliding down.

And there was no shell covering the bottom surface that was originally buried in the soil. It was unknown whether the stone shell was knocked off by the impact or it was originally like this. From there, it can be seen that the stone shell is filled with dense crystals. With the light, it can also be seen that there seems to be something in the crystal, but the light penetrates in and refracts between countless crystals and becomes blurred.

But even so, it was difficult to cover its core. The huge eyeball that was vaguely visible seemed to be rotating as if looking at everyone. The pupils of the alien were not humanoid creatures at all.

At this time, everyone realized that the crystal column that they had just attacked was just a small part of the comet.

As the sleeping comet woke up, it didn't even take action, but the invisible power directly distorted the space.

The canvas was originally like a real scene like a photo, but it was distorted like an abstract oil painting formed by splashing cold paint and then waving the brush randomly.

Only an area under their feet was left, and countless gravel was suspended around the periphery. This scene was somewhat familiar to everyone. Wasn't it a similar scene dragged into by the bud green crystal?

Facing such a huge monster for the first time, everyone was a little confused for a while. Looking up at the monster suspended in the distorted space, they didn't know what to do.

But the sleeper didn't let them go because of this. He launched an attack as soon as he woke up.

The huge body swayed, rising one or two meters. A hole was directly opened in the crystal below, and countless tentacles stretched out from it and waved towards everyone.

The sleeper swayed!

The purple, slender, squid-like tentacles with suction cups waved randomly, covering everyone under the influence of the strange power.

Severe injuries and obvious panic!

The tentacles that disrupted time and space had no room to dodge. Neither the flexible Amanda nor the Lance who broke through the human limit could dodge, as if dodging was useless in front of the sleeper.

The force contained in this blow easily knocked everyone down. Lance couldn't even take out his shield. He only had time to raise his sword to block in front of him, but he also took a few steps back to stabilize his body.

However, what was even more terrifying was that the wounds touched by the tentacles were directly festered, and the accompanying corrosion was so strong that it was a bit scary.

He had never been so seriously injured since he became a demigod. There was no doubt that the sleeper showed the power from the starry sky.

However, Lance was not an ordinary person. As long as he couldn't be killed instantly, it meant that the battle would never end.

Flesh reconstruction!

Blessing!

Lance, who was the only one who was not knocked down by the tentacles, immediately activated his power, and the scars on everyone's bodies were instantly smoothed out. The state refresh directly pushed away the corrosive power.

And his unyielding posture of standing up and facing the sleeper after everyone fell seemed to have a halo of courage. Just standing there eliminated the fear in everyone's hearts.

After those guards got up from the ground, it seemed that they were not affected at all. Not only did their morale not fall, but on the contrary, they became more fanatical.

Amanda and the others did not show any fear, as if as long as that person stood here, they would not lose.

This was the first time Tamara had encountered such a situation. She was inevitably in panic due to the influence of the power of the sleeper, but people are affected by the surrounding environment, and the state of other people calmed her fear to a great extent.

As for the fact that her injuries healed in an instant, she did not even react, because the battle had already begun.

Lance was not accommodating at all. A cannon appeared on the field without any warning, breaking the weird atmosphere.

What if it flies up to the sky?

I'll shoot it down for you!

"Fire!"

By adjusting the slider to increase the elevation angle, with Lance's roar, the fuse burned out, and the war machine roared.

In an instant, the hot shells aimed at the star monster whistled out, followed by hot flames mixed with smoke.

However, a weird scene appeared. The projectile that could not be observed by the naked eye actually showed obvious hysteresis at the moment of approaching. It was obviously blocked by the defensive force field, but it still hit in an instant.

The collision between the shells and the crystal caused a very strange sound. The hardness was exchanged for brittleness. Large pieces of crystal broke directly, and only the sound of breaking could be heard from the subtle sound.

Obviously, this was not soft flesh and blood, and it was impossible to kill it with one shot for such a large body, but this blow still made the huge body of the sleeper tremble.

"Load ammunition!"

Lance dropped two boxes of shells, and the guards immediately came up to pick up tools to load ammunition. They were not proficient, but they knew everything. Now facing such a big thing, they would not miss at all.

At the same time, Alhazred and the others had already started to cast spells. They knew that attacks were unnecessary, and they directly used auxiliary skills such as weakening curses and weakness spells.

Amanda also operated in a similar way, throwing out a projectile with extraordinary power. The flying knife hit the crystal and did not break the defense at all, but the curse that broke out in it severely weakened the defense that enveloped it.

When facing the crystal column before, the two of them could easily break the defense alone, but now the two of them can barely do it together.

Facing such a terrible enemy, Tamara did not dare to hold back, but as an astrologer, she had few means of attack, most of which were auxiliary abilities.

After a slight hesitation, she followed the spellcasters present, not choosing to attack, nor weakening the enemy, but strengthening teammates.

She raised the crystal ball high, and then the brilliance of the stars in it was like a projection covering the field, and the starlight merged into everyone's body, feeling more flexible, and at the same time, the perception became stronger.

At this time, the artillery had completed the reloading and roared again, and this time the shells hit the monster with lightning speed without the force field blocking.

Instantly, the crystal disintegrated and shattered in a large area, leaving obvious pits on it, and this kind of injury would react even to the slowest monster.

I don't know if it was due to the refraction of the crystal or for some other reason, anyway, I can see that the eyes inside the crystal suddenly opened wide, and the crystal fluorescence wrapped around the eyeball flowed.

The sleeper wakes up!

Those crystals that had shattered and suspended at the beginning, as well as the crystals that had just been shattered by the shells, seemed to be controlled and fell towards everyone. In an instant, countless crystals fell across the entire space, as dense as drizzle.

But those things were either crystal pillars as thick as arms, or pieces larger than a human head. If they fell on a person, it would easily seriously injure a person at that speed, not to mention the strange power contained in them trying to pollute their will.

Fortunately, the guards came in to clear the miscellaneous soldiers this time, so they specialized in close combat and had complete equipment, in simple terms, they had armor and helmets.

Safety first!

Spellcasters like Alhazred also had their own methods. Amanda took out a small round shield to block the top of her head, and Tamara took out the star disk called the Astrologer, and directly projected a starry sky crack to block her head. The crystals disappeared directly after passing through.

As long as the crystals fell, it was meaningless to Lance as long as they were not killed instantly. Similarly, the teammates who fell to the ground after this move stood up again the next second.

"Protect yourself!" Lance did not hold back and threw some shields at everyone, then ran towards the sleeper, charging with the sword.

The big sword that did not absorb enough blood was not special. With its own strength and sharpness, it directly pierced the crystal of the sleeper under the power of Lance.

Because it was close enough, Lance could even see that it subconsciously closed its eyes when facing the attack, but this did not prevent the blade from being stabbed in.

It was not very useful to work on the shell, it was more direct to attack the monster under the crystal directly, which also caused the sleeper to resist and extend its tentacles from the crystal.

The tentacles that had knocked down most people with one move before and made him retreat with just one of them rushed forward as if to catch Lance.

But the same move did not work on him. Lance, who was prepared, kicked the crystal and retreated, while dodging the tentacles, he drew out the greatsword, and then chopped down the approaching tentacle with a chop.

The purple tentacles that were still twitching and struggling after leaving the body showed that there was indeed something inside the crystal, and it was very strange that the wound was flowing out of fluorescent fluid, which made Lance hesitate.

However, the injury made the sleeper launch a more crazy counterattack, controlling the crystals to fall and repeat the old trick.

However, this method is only effective for the first time. Everyone has already started to stack armor, and it is even less likely that people will die on the top of the shield. Only a few people will be injured.

On the contrary, the cannon has been loaded, and another shot was dropped into it.

This time, it is not known whether the sleeper noticed it or just turned the position to deal with Lance. The cannon hit the shell. Although there is no defensive force field, the cracked stone skin bears most of the damage.

But how can it deal with Lance's attack after being weakened by the curse?

Lance swung the big sword in his hand and slashed with all his strength. The crystal touched by the blade did not collapse unexpectedly, leaving a clear cut mark directly.

And this is just the beginning. No one knows the limit of Lance's full explosion. Ordinary people can't even keep up with his movements. They can only hear the reverberating knocking sound like ironmaking and the collapsed crystal.

The guards on the other side were not slow in reloading. They didn't care about the position. They fired as soon as they were loaded, dealing the maximum damage. The damage was also very considerable. The bombardment at the same place almost knocked off half of the huge body.

Alhazred and his men used various spells and rituals to interfere and weaken. When the casters were unrestricted, they would tell you what cruelty was.

Lance, who was facing the enemy head-on, didn't know how many times he had swung his sword. His body was covered with splashing fluorescent fluid, and underneath were the tentacles he had cut off.

Finally, a sword was slashed out, and the crystal shell cracked with a sound...
